Re: [Sepsis Groups] Sepsis 3

Hi, Sepsis 3 replaces the 2001 (Sepsis 2)sepsis task force definitions. The original definitions were made at the 1991 consensus conference (Sepsis 1). The 2012 SSC guidelines provided the recommendations for care based on the current definitions at that time. The revision to the 2012

[Sepsis Groups] Weight in kg

Is anyone aware of the CMS requirements on calculating a fluid bolus to the nearest 10th of a pound? Oftentimes our physicians will order a bolus based on the patient's weight of 87 kg as opposed to 87.4 kg. Thank you, Lindsay Lindsay DeCoster, RN | Quality Assurance Coordinator Sepsis
